Quote: “I think I’ll do okay. I’m stoic, stubborn and have a little bit of that masochism that goes a long way in a survival situation.”

An only child, raised in the rural highlands of Scotland, now an adult living alone on 10 acres of suburban bushland in the south of Tasmania, Corinne is not one to be intimidated by the cold, the wet or the isolation! With a deep passion for bushcraft, she thrives on play with natural materials, crafting utensils, baskets, and traps, but foraging is her true survival forte. It was her fascination with foraging that led her to start and grow a successful bushfood business, which she recently sold to pay off her home and focus on her dream of off-grid living.

Self-taught and fiercely self-reliant, Corinne is a true do-it-yourselfer. She can butcher a carcass and tan a hide, but there’s one challenge she has yet to face: taking an animal’s life. Despite her success with catch-and-release, having repeatedly, successfully trapped many possums, the final step—ending a life—remains her greatest challenge. It’s the ultimate test she must pass if she is to procure enough protein to go the distance. Currently living alongside chickens and two goats, Corinne is also working toward bringing her elderly father from Scotland to live closer to her. This Alone experience marks what she hopes will be her final solo adventure. If she wins, the prize money will bring her one step closer to realising her ultimate dream—becoming a mother and starting a family.
